SINGER D4vd’s manager has broken his silence weeks after a teenage girl was found dead in the star’s abandoned Tesla.
Music industry exec Josh Marshall said he had “zero knowledge of anything” after the decomposed body of Celeste Rivas, 15, was discovered in a Hollywood tow yard.

He added: “This has been a tough time for my family as I am a father of 3 children.”
Marshall’s comments come after Rivas was discovered on September 8. She had been missing since April 2024.
Investigators came across her remains when workers detected a foul smell coming from the vehicle.
Rivas was found in the trunk of the car and her remains had been stuffed in a bag.
In a blistering statement Marshall – who owns Mogul Vision and is reported to have rented the Hollywood Hills home where D4vd was staying – said: “This news is tragic for so many and for her family. I hope the proper authorities get to the bottom of it soon.”
He warned: “This is the only time I’ll speak on this matter. FOR NOW.”
Los Angeles cops are still probing the death but have shed more light surrounding the timeline of events.
Scot M Williams, a Los Angeles Police Department Captain and Commanding Officer, suggested Rivas had been dead for several weeks before her remains were found, as reported by People.
“We know for sure that Celeste Rivas Hernandez died and someone placed her body in the front trunk area of David Burke’s Tesla,” he added.
Rivas’ cause and manner or death still remains unknown and her final moments still remain shrouded in mystery.
It was confirmed yesterday that the teen was not pregnant at the time of her death.
The teen was last seen in the Lake Elsinore area and had previously been reported missing by her family three times.
Sources close to her family told The U.S. Sun the pair had dated since she was 13.
And, friends close to the singer claimed they saw millionaire D4vd and Rivas at parties.
They thought she was 19 as opposed to being underage, as reported by TMZ.
D4vd’s pals thought Rivas was over 18 because they saw her at adult-only events.
Meanwhile, D4vd’s Tesla ended up in the yard after it been abandoned near a plush property he had been renting.
The car was reported abandoned on August 26, according to a California Highway Patrol vehicle report.
An officer slapped a ticket on it the following day. Then, a second ticket was issued on September 3. The car was then impounded on September 5.
Investigators carried out a search warrant on the property D4vd was renting.
Footage seen by the ABC affiliate KABC-TV captured detectives carrying a computer screen.
The music star, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, was renting the property for around $20,000-a-month.
He has since moved out of the home.
D4vd had been performing in the US before the body was found.
His tour abruptly ended and gigs scheduled to take place across Europe have also been axed.
Execs at Crocs and Hollister have also removed him from marketing campaigns.
D4vd, who burst onto the scene with hits such as Romantic Homicide, has not been arrested or charged in connection with the grim discovery.
Statements have only been issued via his team and they said he was cooperating with the probe.
